The result for the nation's economic capital emerged late last night and unlike what many were expecting, it was a total run off against the President.
The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari, polled 792,460 votes to emerge the winner in a closely contested race against President Goodluck Jonathan in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital.
President Jonathan, who is contesting under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, polled 632,327.
Out of the 20 local government areas in Lagos State, the APC won 15 while PDP won five.
Akin Orebiyi, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, urged any aggrieved party to approach the Election Petitions Tribunal which he said would be constituted soon.
